I'm Kenneth C., the breeder behind Von Schwarze Karte Rottweilers located in Mc Leansville, NC. Von Schwarze Karte Rottweilers is a small kennel located in Guilford County, NC. The name Von Schwarze Karte (Black Card) comes from me being a former employee of American Express. The American Express Black Card is the most prestigious charge card in the world. As a breeder, I strive to produce the most prestigious Rottweilers in the world!
Q. & A. with Kenneth
Why did you start breeding?
I've had a passion for the Rottweiler breed since the late 1980's. My uncle breed them and I loved to play with them. When I got involved with law enforcement, I wanted a family oriented breed that would protect the house while I worked night shifts. I eventually purchased a rottweiler, then began to compete in shows, which lead me to breeding.
What makes your program special?
I believe the passion that we put into our program is what makes us special. We average about two litters per year with hopes of producing a world champion. This is a hobby to us, not a way to make a living.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and mahogany. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
